Panel 1:
A balding man stands in a dimly lit room, holding a small object (appears to be a phone or device) and looking down at it. A woman with red hair stands in a doorway to the right, gesturing.
Man (Todd): CHERYL... THE CONDOM BROKE. CHERYL... I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT THE CONDOM BROKE. CHERYL... I LOVE YOU. I KNOW YOU'RE NOT SURE-
Woman (Cheryl): TODD? ARE YOU PRACTICING A CONFESSION TO ME?
Caption (below panel): This would've been less worrisome if I'd ever had sex with him.
Votey:
A hand-drawn close-up of a man's face (Todd) looking startled/dismayed, with a speech bubble above him.
Text in bubble: Eavesdropper!

Main comic (single panel): A balding man named Todd stands in a dim room, head down, holding a small device as he rehearses out loud: "Cheryl... the condom broke. Cheryl... I don't know how to tell you this, but the condom broke. Cheryl... I love you. I know you're not sure-". A red-haired woman, Cheryl, has appeared in the doorway behind him and interrupts: "Todd? Are you practicing a confession to me?" A caption beneath reads: "This would've been less worrisome if I'd ever had sex with him." The joke: Todd is anxiously rehearsing a confession about a broken condom to a woman he has never actually slept with. Votey (hand-drawn aftercomic): A close-up of Todd's startled face turning toward the viewer, with a speech bubble reading "Eavesdropper!" as he realizes Cheryl overheard him.
